The canvas consists of 3 main areas:

1. “Value Creation” is the front stage of your business model and describes how you create value for your customers, what are the touch points with your platform and which core network effects are in place.

2. “Value Delivery” is the backstage and describes how you deliver the value – what are core services of the platform and what kind of resources have to be in place.
